In the first quarter of the Celtics' matchup with the Cavaliers
in Cleveland to open the NBA season, Hayward landed awkwardly on
his left ankle after rising up to catch a lob. The TNT cameras
caught the devastating sight of Hayward sitting on the court with
the gruesome injury.

Everyone's eyes were on the NBA opener, and Twitter reacted in
shock. Thunder guard Paul George, who suffered a gruesome leg break in 2014 , tweeted
his support for Hayward as soon as Hayward went to the ground to
the shock of everyone at Quicken Loans Arena.
